good morning, everybody. glad to be with you. no apologies from mitt romney. he's defending videotape remarks he made at a private fundraiser in may. romney says nearly half of all americans believe they're victims entitled to extensive government support and he said his role is not to worry those people. susan mcginnis is live in washington with more. >>. >> good morning, terrell. this is pretty bad timing for the romney campaign. today is exactly seven weeks before the election. romney -- the campaign called a press conference at 10:00 p.m. last night eastern time, and no, he did not apologize, but he tried to clarify. at a private $50,000 a plate fundraiser in florida last may, unaware he was being recorded, mitt romney said nearly half of americans are victims who feel entitled to government support. "mother jones" magazine released

the video on monday. >> there are 47% who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they're entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. that's an entitlement, and the government should give it to them, and they will vote for this president no matter what. >> romney called a press conference monday night to address the video. he says he was talking about the challenges of winning the election. >> among those that pay no tax, approximately 47% of americans. i'm not likely to be highly successful with the message of lowering taxes. and likewise, those who are reliant on government are not as attracted to my message of slimming down the size of government. >> reporter: romney says he's not trying to win over those voters. >> and so my job is not to worry about those people, i'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives. >> reporter: romney also said he had to be careful how to deliver his message to people who voted for president obama in 2008.

>> because they voted for him, they don't want to be told that they're wrong, that he's a bad guy, that he's corrupt. >> reporter: the obama campaign was quick to respond to the romney tape, calling it shocking. the obama camp issued a statement that said it's hard to serve as president for all americans when you've disdainfully written off half the nation. president obama dealt with a similar situation campaigning in 2008. he was secretly recorded telling donors that many on the right cling to guns and religion. vice presidential candidate paul ryan uses that comment frequently in his campaign appearances. this was in des moines, iowa, on monday. >> this is guilty as charged. >> reporter: romney did not retract anything he said in the video. he does admit it was not elegantly stated. in response, romney said he was speaking off the cuff in response to a question and he said, of course i want to help all americans. all americans have a bright and

prosperous future. >> susan, thank you so much. according to the tax policy center, 46.4% of households paid no federal income taxes, but most do pay payroll taxes. a little more than 18% of americans pay neither income nor payroll taxes. of those, more than half are elderly and more than a third have incomes below $20,000. overseas now. this morning a suicide bomber attacked a minivan in kabul, afghanistan, killing at least nine people, including eight foreigners. a van carrying airport workers was the target. an insurgent group says the attack was in retaliation for the anti-islam movie sparking protest throughout the muslim world. and led to the killing of the u.s. ambassador to libya last week. video taken following that attack on the u.s. consulate in benghazi, libya, appears to show libyans tried to rescue ambassador chris stevens. the libyans came across stevens' body in a darkroom after the attack.

they didn't know who he was, but stevens was alive, cheering "god is great." they put him in a private car and took him to a hospital. stevens died of smoke inhalation. it's unclear what happened to stevens' security detail. in afghanistan, the united states has suspended joint patrols with the military following a rash of attacks. as david martin reports, this latest development is another setback for u.s. efforts to turn over security issues to the afghan people. >> reporter: the order effectively suspends until further notice most of the operations which u.s. and afghan troops conduct side by side. at higher headquarters, afghans and americans will still work together, but in the field, small unit operations putting afghan soldiers alongside americans, the guts of the u.s. strategy to turn the fighting over to the afghans, will be suspended unless an exception is granted by a commanding general. the order was issued after a long weekend in which four american and two british troops

were killed by so called insider attacks. afghans turning their guns on their supposed allies. joint chiefs chairman general martin dempsey called the surge in insider attacks a very serious threat to the campaign. in addition, two marines were killed and eight fighter jets destroyed by enemy fighters who penetrated a heavily fortified base. a taliban video shot the morning after the attack showed smoke still rising from the most destructive enemy attack of the entire war. just as disturbing is the fact that the enemy was able to film this propaganda video from just outside the base. the attack began at 10:00 p.m. friday night when a band of 15 enemy fighters somehow eluded detection by security cameras, which scan the entire perimeter. dressed in u.s. army uniforms, they cut their way through outer wire and blew a hole through the base wall. armed with automatic weapons, rocket-propelled grenade

launchers and suicide vests, they split into teams, each going after a separate target. one went for the jet fighters, another for the fueling stations, and a third for the helicopters. within 30 minutes, the damage was done. a quick reaction force finally arrived, and after a two-hour firefight, killed 14 attackers and wounded one who is now in custody. one u.s. official put it simply. "we have got to do better at protecting our troops." david martin, cbs news, the pentagon. a territorial dispute combined with a solemn anniversary have triggered a new wave of anti-japanese protests in china. it was 81 years ago tomorrow that japan invaded china prior to world war ii. thousands are protesting outside the japanese embassy in beijing, and dozens of japanese businesses have been closed. tensions have been growing over the ownership of a tiny group of uninhabited islands in the east china sea.

today japanese fishermen landed on one of those islands. the islands lie near valuable fisheries and mineral deposits. striking chicago teachers could vote today on the latest contract proposal from the city. the teachers strike that started monday, rahm emanuel wants the courts to end this strike. the hearing is scheduled for tomorrow. occupy wall street protesters mark the one-year anniversary of their movement to protest corporate greed with marches in several cities across the country. here in new york, nearly 200 people were arrested. randall pinkston reports. >> reporter: supporters of occupy wall street returned to mark the movement's first anniversary. hundreds of activists raised their voices and carried signs, hoping to drum up the kind of support they had a year ago. several protesters clashed with police. >> unfortunately, sometimes you need to get out of the street, make some noise and really disrupt the morning flow of traffic in order to really get your point across. >> reporter: mark bray is an occupy organizer. he said today's movement is as

much about fighting foreclosure and high student loan rates as it is about ending corporate greed. >> all these issues are related to the issue of wall street, how corporations and financial institutions have too much power in our government, and if we vote for obama or romney, wall street wins. >> reporter: one year ago, this small park in new york's financial district was full of occupy protesters sleeping in tents. this year, active protests are welcome. sleeping protesters are not. some wall street employees say the so called 99 percenters should occupy washington or just get a job. >> the people, unfortunately i feel like they just need to find a home or potentially find work so that they can take care of themselves a little bit better. >> reporter: protesters say they are taking better care of each other, all by supporting a national movement that they insist is still growing. randall pinkston, cbs news, new york. coming up on a tuesday, royal photo fight. a court rules today in the privacy case involving those
